So now I have a big stash of barely-used cloth diapers that I need to get around to selling. Alas! But since daycare wouldn't use them, and I didn't want to use them overnight, we only ended up using maybe one per day per kid. And so I would have to run a small load of laundry every day. Not very efficient. So I gave up. :P As far as breastfeeding goes, we tried it in the NICU when the boys got to the right gestational age. I think Linus did okay, the other two didn't, really, and by the time we got them home and they were old enough, I just didn't have the time or energy to keep trying. So I pumped for a while, but I never got much milk. They'd get maybe one bottle of breastmilk a day for two months. Sigh. Stacy – we did cloth diaper them for about a week.

I'm curious - did you get to (or even attempt to) do *any* of the cloth diapering or breastfeeding with them? I have a friend with twins who is doing both, but I can't imagine how someone could keep up with three! Of course you are a Giftie and can do anything you put your mind to!!! They sure are cuties! I especially love your month-by-month montage! What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing!

I remember when you called me, your voice was so soft, I had to have you repeat it a few times! And, yes, then the giggling started. I love this story. I love that it was a total surprise for you and George. Yay, triplets!!! Awww! I remember when you called me, your voice was so soft, I had to have you repeat it a few times!

It has really stuck with me since I read it yesterday. I was pregnant at the same time (DD is 15 months now and loves kissing pics of your boys :)) and I remember thinking how calm you seemed about it all and how easily you seem to adjust, you certainly hid any wobbly moments well :) I was so married to my expectations of parenthood during my pregancy, i can really identify with how hard it must have been to let them all go. But what a reward you have now :) Keep blogging, me and dd love reading/kissing. Happy Easter! What a fantastic post. It has really stuck with me since I read it yesterday.

I remember when we found out we were having twins: it was our third ultrasound! "I wanted a natural childbirth, a fun stroller, cloth diapers, breastfeeding. I could see all of these expectations of parenthood slipping away." I felt exactly this way too. Great post.

I remember that time- I was pregnant with a single boy- I think we shared an original EDD in January. Your boys are so cute! It's fun to compare them- they are all going through the same stages now as my one! Loved the video- you sounded like you were going to pass out! Wow, your post had me in tears!

Really a great one though, I enjoyed it. Thanks for your honesty and open heart. Your boys are so lucky to have the two of you and live in such a passionate and understanding place - I'm sure you needed a drink after that shock. Wow. What a powerful post.
